The Ashford Town Spooktacular

Join Ashford's Healthy High Street businesses this Halloween for the first ever Ashford Town Spooktacular.

On Saturday 29th October, visitors to the town centre are invited to dress up in their spookiest gear and join town centre businesses in a fang-tastic Halloween celebration in the heart of Ashford.

From 1pm - 5:30pm visitors can register for free at the Loveashford welcome tent next to the bandstand, sign up for the fancy-dress competition and pick up an exclusive trick-or-treat bag available to first 100 visitors. Those taking part in the trick-or-treat trail can collect a map and complete the trail around the town to collect free goodies and giveaways from participating businesses.

What's more, there will be the chance to see ghoulish stilt-walkers in County Square Shopping Centre and on the high street, as well as the Lost Railway Porters who will be roaming the town with their fantastic street act throughout the day.

You can also catch Revelation St Mary's who'll be hosting a programme of live music on the bandstand from 1pm - 4pm . There will aslo be the chance to grab some tasty treats from Janet's Soul Food stall, take part in children's workshops and a spooky sensory zone , plus see live performances from Ashford Arts Centre from 1pm on the lower high street and Park Mall Shopping Centre.
